Happy wheezers

Anyone who has done any work in pediatrics hears about the "happy wheezers." These are kids with viral bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways).  They're wheezing and breathing fast, but they don't care.  They aren't bothered by the problem.
I had one of these these the other day.  An adorable little girl.  As I examined her, she was bouncing and laughing.  And wheezing like a calliope.  I love it.
